TTA report

By far the better side, Celtic went two-up (40 and 56). Bone scored from an O'Neill pass (62) but the 2-goal lead was restored a minute later. Flanagan scored (71) gathering a rebound, Celtic hit the bar and post then Bone scrambled the ball home from a cross from the left (89). Guts and luck earned a draw.
